South Carolina’s offensive struggles continued into the midweek for its Tuesday evening matchup with Furman, with USC (6-3) dropping its second straight game, 6-4. Three errors didn’t help either, as the Gamecocks fell behind in the third and never led again.
THREE POINTS
Stars of the game: For Furman, starting pitcher Trent Alley. The sophomore right-hander battled through six innings, not flawlessly but effectively limiting the Gamecocks offense and ensuring that his weak spots, such as four walks, never came back to haunt him.
For South Carolina, junior Madison Stokes made a strong return to the lineup after missing five games with an injured hamstring.
